I need to select elements in jquery, attibute values of which do not end with a specified substring.

It must be an equivalent to "match all elements but those that end with a given substring in that attribute".

So that e[a!@#=finstr] matches e, e a="finstring" etc, and does NOT match e a="somethingfinstr", e a="finstr".

Help, thanks.

Something along the lines of 

$(':not([name$="finstr"])')

Should do the trick!

Edit: alternatively

$(selector).not('[name$="value"]');

I guess you have you wrap name$="finstr" in [ ]
But if I have a class '.editable:not([name$=".notthis"]) - I wonder what change is needed to get it to work

I think this would work, using links as an example -

$("a:not([id$='hello'])"

Try inverting the: Attribute Ends With Selector [name$="value"]. with jQuery(':not(selector)').

Something like this: :not([name$="value"])
